It's been asked - and I've often wondered - just how much electricity it takes to operate the S1 24x7. I finally took some measurements today.
Here's what I came up with:
- Daily $0.30
Monthly $9.00 aka <2.5 Starbucks Grande Lattes
Annually $108.00
I created a spreadsheet model that is posted at
http://www.rimpo.org/s1/S1Power.html where I explain my methods and assumptions. Feel free to plug in your own electrical rate and duty cycle assumptions to come up with results more fine tuned to your situation.
